This presentation tells you about Characters of the novel diary of a young girl this a very educative presentation and a good understandable presentation
4. “
A young Dutch woman of German-Jewish
origin. She is the youngest child of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank. As the diary is her property and
prized possession, the readers remain in her
head throughout the length of the book. In her
diary she is precocious, intelligent, charming,
and, even under the worst circumstances,
funny. Over the course of the diary, she grows
from a spoiled, somewhat naive young girl of
thirteen to a self-aware young woman of
fifteen.. 4

Although. she has little political
consciousness at the beginning of the
diary, she grows to question anti-Semitism
and the point of war. During her time in the
annex, she suffers from boredom, despair,
and the petty persecution of those around
her. She also discovers a wealth of good
qualities in herself. After the annex
residents are discovered, she goes to the
concentration camp at Belsen, in Germany,
where she dies before her sixteenth
birthday
7. The mother of Anne and Margot Frank. She
comes from a wealthy family and has spent most
of her life in Germany. In terms of her mothering
skills, she is somewhat of a disappointment to
Anne, who would prefer her to be more
affectionate and accepting. A peacemaker, she is
the voice of reason during adult fights in the
annex. After the residents are captured and her
daughters are sent to the Belsen camp, she is left
to die at Auschwitz.

9. The father of Anne and Margot Frank. He comes from a
wealthy family and spent most of his life in Germany.
When Hitler rose to power in 1933, Mr. Frank reacted by
relocating his family to Amsterdam, in the Netherlands.
There, he worked in the food products business. When
the Nazis invaded the Netherlands, he made
arrangements for his family to go into hiding in the
building in which he was once employed. (Jews were not
allowed to work with non-Jewish Dutch after the Nazis
took over the Netherlands.) He is Anne's favorite relative;
she often calls him "Pim" and considers him her savior
and confidant in the annex. He is the sole surviving
member of his family after the war. He arranged for the
publication of Anne's diary and died in the early 1980s.

11. 11
A business associate of Mr. Frank. He was formerly
in the meat and sausage business. He arranges for
his family to live with the Franks in the annex of
their former establishment. Anne considers him to
be an insufferable know-it-all, though she reserves
the majority of her ire for his wife. He is gassed at
Auschwitz.
13. Mr. Van Daan's wife. The Van Daans are also
German; Mrs. Van Daan's Dutch is poor. She
is vain and lacking in humility. Anne finds her
to be the most insufferable annex resident of
them all and is particulary annoyed when Mrs.
Van Daan flirts with Mr. Frank. Peter Van
Daan has trouble talking to her, this leads
Anne to believe that she, like Mrs. Frank,
lacks mothering skills. She dies in the camp at
Belsen.

15. 15
The only son of Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan. He is almost
sixteen when he comes to live in the annex. Shy,
awkward, and introspective, he does not pique Anne's
attention until they have been living in the annex for
almost two years. Then they begin a deep friendship
that leads to some physical intimacy. Anne is at first
head over heels in love with him, then she realizes
that, although he is a nice young man, he is weak-
minded and lacks character. He disappears on a
forced march with the German army.
17. 17
A Dutch associate of Mr. Frank's who arranges for them to live
in the annex. He provides them with food and, through
enormous effort, keeps their secret for two years. He is
captured with the Franks and the Van Daans but released for
medical care due to his health problems.
19. Another Dutch associate of Mr. Frank's who arranges for the
living situation in the annex. Along with Mr. Koophius, he
bears the brunt of responsibility for their secret. He, too, is
arrested for his role in helping the annex residents. He
spends eight months in a forced labor camp.

21. A Dutch woman who assists the annex residents with
food, clothing, books, and companionship. She
cheerfully assists them with the things they need and
pitches in to give them holidays. Along with Elli, she
retrieves and saves Anne's diary from the floor after the
annex residents are arrested.

23. A Dutch woman who does chores and finds food and clothing
for the annex residents, as well as arranging for illegal goods
and coupons. She often gives Anne and Margot office work,
to prevent them from being bored. Along with Miep, she
retrieves and saves Anne's diary from the floor of the annex
after the residents are arrested

25. 25
Anne's school friend. While Anne is in the
annex, she has visions of Lies suffering in a
concentration camp. After Anne was sent to
Belsen, she found Lies there, and the girls
were happy that at least they could suffer
together before they both died.
27. Anne has a crush on this school boy. They were
companions, on and off, before she was forced to
go into hiding. About two years after she is in
hiding, she remembers him with longing and
desire. Some of her love for Peter Van Daan is
actually love for Peter Wessel.
